Summary of the contracting process

The Insolvency Service has completed a procurement process for an "External Print Management Service", with the award dated 7th July 2026. This contract falls under the "Printed matter and related products" industry category and covers the provision of large-scale printing services that cannot be handled internally. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the overall contract value is £712,000. The service delivery is to occur from 7th July 2026 to 7th July 2029, and the opportunity prominently considered the suitability for SMEs, though not for VCSEs. The buyer, located in London, England, has entrusted this contract to PSL Print Management Limited, indicating its commitment to outsource effective and reliable print management solutions.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in large-scale print management services, particularly those that can operate within frameworks for selective procurement. SMEs have been considered in the procurement process, offering them a chance to grow by engaging in substantial government contracts. Companies with expertise in managing extensive print requirements and those that can deliver consistent quality under framework agreements would be well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities. As the role involves managing complex and large-scale printing tasks, businesses with an established presence in the industry and a capability to innovate in service delivery will likely find this contract advantageous.
